Yokosawa, Hong Splits Too


Masato Yokosawa with 7 8 flopped the straight and earned a straight-flush and flush draw when the dealer boarded 6 5 9. The bad news? Ryan Hong had the same hand, albeit without the draws, with 7 8 so it was not a surprise to see them raise, re-raise and move all in post the flop.

Hong sweated this one out and needed to avoid the clubs. The turn K and river 2 were safe for Hong and both settled for a split pot.
